    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
    At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
    Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
    “How big?”
    “Three feet, maybe.”
    Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
    “It’s streamlined.”
    This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

    “The Story Here…
    As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

    “This jeep has been great to own for over 31 years. I just decided that it is time to move on and find a buyer who will appreciate it and take care of it like I have. It was one of the very last to be built with a 5-speed manual transmission, which makes it a rare find. I welcome any questions that buyers may have. Thank you for your interest.”

    rbillinger commented on No Reserve: Original-Owner 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4×4 5-Speed

    “That’s legit and 100% original IMHO. Worked at a Schwinn shop as a kid and put together a few of those. A lot of people (cool kids) ditched the front fender. That’s the original seat. Those are the original pedals. This is all recollection but very clear. . They were wheelie machines and no fun whatsoever to get up a hill! An early but awesome memory! GLWTA!”

    “Ok
    So while we were setting up Rally 1
    Mike Z who ran the Saleen shop floor set up a red door complete with gurney bubble on a small dolly door stand. For display and option for people coming to have your door converted.
    Of course vin 1314 / signature car owner / Me wanted it that day to swap on my red car for the event!
    The door was display only because it was a blemish / defect door and not complete , hence the parts missing on this door!
    I think Bony had the first bubble after Gurney…”

    “This seems to be an outstanding example of one of these rare and truly extraordinary cars. I had my ’15 V12VS Coupe (Sportshift III) out today. People obviously differ regarding what they want from a car, but for me, it really doesn’t get much better than this among modern cars. In addition to all the things that make Aston Martins special, the V12 Vantage S is an absolutely fantastic thing to DRIVE. The engine — performance, smoothness and sound (not sure any car made in the last 40 years…”

    “@Treetrimmer is spot-on. Ford’s own memos state that the purpose of this group of these GTs was not to introduce the Mustang, but to introduce the first-ever offering of the availability of the GT Package. That’s why the 60 cars were not 1964 1/2 models. They were 1965 models because that’s the year in which the GT Package was first offered.
    In reference to a different comment, comparing them to pace cars, etc. reveals they are not so alike for several reasons. Mainly, the introduction…”

    “The 4.08 rear end coupled with the 5 speed ZF makes any Pagoda 230,250,280 a sports car with far better acceleration, and also legs for the highway without the typical high revs of the 4 speeds. A 4.08 could not work in a 4 speed, since with even their 3.xx rear ends they are spinning to fast for highway speeds.”

    “I was a young car-crazed teen and recall when the Monza came out for the 1975 model year. I thought it was an awesome looking design. When this Mirage package was announced I was really excited! Yeah, it was just a 305, but it was all about the styling for me. Really neat to see one here on BaT!”

    DVmechanics commented on 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300Ti “El Taxi Perdido”

    “This car is fast and we raced against it in LCP in my Datsun 510 with many great memories of running in the top 10 together against the big V8 cars. It will go over 130 as I one time switched the Garmin page to history when he wasn’t looking and it said 132 mph…my 510 was good for 121 WFO”

    “A 1952 220A Cabriolet was my daily driver in the early 1970s. When decades later I drove past a billboard depicting a painted one on Sunset Blvd, I did a u-turn to see what it was about. It advertised the Hiro Yamagata exhibit at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery running from Sept 13 thru Oct 23, 1994. I was at the opening, chatted with Mr Yamagata, and marveled that I was seeing more 220As in one room than I had seen in my entire life.
    I asked him why he chose this car to paint. He replied…”

    “This is the car that convinced me just why fulvias were rally champions. Having known the owner for a while you can rest assured that this particular example was treated with both love and care.
    Having had a chance to drive it down a curvy road or two, it’s mechanically perfect and just a hoot to drive as well.
    The gorgeous color doesn’t hurt either.”
